Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 95

“I’m looking for Harper. Where is he?”

“He is away on a business trip, so I don’t think he is around today. By the way, who is the man who gave

you a lift, Miss Lynwood? Could he be your boyfriend?” The woman nodded in a preoccupied manner.

“No.” Elspeth blushed, becoming speechless at once.

“Do you seriously have no idea who he is?” Elspeth raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

“Who is he?” The woman asked, seemingly confused.

“His name is Callum Winthrop.”

“Wait, what? Callum Winthrop?” the woman responded, her voice going several octaves higher.

Elspeth nodded, finding the woman’s surprised look amusing. “What’s the matter?”

“Callum Winthrop may be a golden bachelor whom every lady out there wants to marry, but the way I see

it, he is a little too cold and indifferent. Thus, I don’t think he’ll be a good match for you…. You deserve

someone better.”

Elspeth chuckled in amusement, recalling Callum’s words when he told her he would give her a ride to

work in a helicopter earlier that morning. “Alright, since Harper isn’t here. I should probably get going.

Remember, don’t tell anyone about what you saw today. Also, work hard and ease up on the gossip.”

She advised her subordinate, not knowing whether her words were taken seriously by the administrator

behind that smiling face.

After a while, she decided to make a trip to the hospital, but before she set out, she heard her phone’s

loud ringtone.

“Hey there, Elspeth. Are you free now?” Callum spoke, his voice shaking. “If you are, please come to the

hospital now.”

Elspeth’s heart sank when she heard that. “I’ll be on my way right now.” She flagged down a cab and

made her way to the destination. The moment she entered the ward, she saw Callum standing in the

corner not far away with a cigarette between his fingers. Several cigarette butts were scattered on the

ground. “What happened?”

Callum turned around and fixed his gaze on Elspeth, his eyes turning red. “The doctor said my mother

will never wake up again.”

“That’s right. According to the doctor, that’s how she’ll live for the rest of her life.”

“I told you to look into the medication. Have you done it yet?”

Callum nodded his head in response. “Yes, I have. There’s nothing wrong with the medication, which is

why I don’t understand how something like this could happen to her.”

“Are you saying that your mother’s condition worsened before she ended up in this state?”

“No worries. I’ll find the best doctor to save my mother.” He took a deep breath. “When she wakes up, I’ll

be sure to make Arthur pay!” Deep down, Callum could never forgive Arthur for his unforgivable

inhumanity of hurting their mother.

“Callum, may I have a look at your mother?”

Aware of Elspeth’s talent in healing, Callum didn’t turn her down and nodded in agreement. After

examining Margot’s body thoroughly, Elspeth realized Callum was right upon finding nothing wrong with

the medication she took.

However, she quickly found something else far more gruesome and scarier as she squinted and

stretched out her arm to reach for the ventilator. It’s cold.

“I think I know why your mother is in this state now, Callum.”

“What’s the reason?” Callum desperately asked after being stunned for a second.

“Take a look at the ventilator. If it was working like it was supposed to, it should radiate heat and feel hot,

but

instead, it feels ice cold. Thus, I believe someone must have removed the ventilator support from your

mother when you were away and only put it back on when you returned. As this kept going on over time,

your mother suffered from a lack of oxygen, resulting in her vegetative state.”

As soon as Elspeth’s words made sense to Callum, he clenched his fists while his gaze turned cold.

“This must be Arthur’s doing.”

“We can’t be certain for now; Ophelia could also be the one behind this, after all.” Elspeth looked up.

“Anyway. your mother’s condition is our priority. Finding the culprit can wait.”

“I’ve already engaged the best doctor in Damoria. He will be here soon.” Callum nodded. At the same

time, Elspeth, who was about to give the man a suggestion, swallowed her words when she heard his

reply.

Soon, a doctor who looked to be in his 40s or 50s arrived. The doctor was dressed decently, and he had

a pair of glasses with a golden frame that made him look professional and reliable. “Mr. Winthrop, I’m

going to run a check-up on Mrs. Winthrop now.”

As the doctor examined the patient, he repeatedly frowned and relaxed his eyebrows. In the end, he

sighed and said, “Mr. Winthrop, your mother’s condition is rather complicated. If you want her to live,

pray hard for her.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, but rather I can’t, Mr. Winthrop. After all, I can’t promise you anything. If

anything goes wrong, it will ruin my reputation.”

“Your reputation? If you fail, you can get lost from Damoria.”

Seeing Callum’s response, Elspeth stood up for the doctor and tried to defuse the situation. “Alright, take

it easy. He is just a regular doctor. What can you expect him to do? He is not a divine being, you know.

Perhaps I should ask my mentor for help and have him come over to check on your mother.”

The doctor, feeling as if he had been humiliated, reacted dramatically. “Who are you calling a regular

doctor here? I’m the best doctor in Damoria. Who is your mentor? How dare you compare him to me?”

I must have bumped my head or something to help this guy. “Sonny Schwartz,” Elspeth said.

The doctor instantly shut his mouth up when he heard the name. Nevertheless, he quickly thought she

was bluffing and murmured to himself softly. “Who knows whether you’re telling the truth? Why would a

big shot like Sonny Schwartz be your mentor? Keep telling yourself that!”

However, Elspeth wasn’t concerned at all. Instead, she made a video call, whereupon an old man with

gray hair appeared on the screen. He seemed healthy and fit for his age, and his eyes were sparkling.

“Oh. my dear Elspeth! You’ve finally thought of calling me. Do you know how lonely I am, living abroad

alone? Anyway, when are you coming back? I’m…”

“Hmm, you haven’t beaten Mr. McCall in chess, have you?” Elspeth knew what Sonny was about to say

and beat him to the punchline.

“Haha.. How smart! When are you going to help me win a match against him? His cocky attitude grinds

my gears every time. You must knock him down to size for me!”

She rolled her eyes around and smiled. “In that case, let’s make a deal.”

I’ll promise you anything.” Sonny patted his chest confidently.

Elspeth turned the camera to Margot and gently replied, “I need your help to wake her up.”
